About Me


I'm married to a fantastic guy, James. We've been happily married since June 10, 1999. He works very hard (for a great company) to enable me to be a stay-at-home-mom. We have 3 active boys who are 3, 4 1/2 and 7. I love Colorado and the area we live in has some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen. We moved here in September of 2006 and each day since I have thanked God for blessing our family. It is a remarkable place filled with amazing people. mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" src="http://www.games2web.com/swf/zeldawalk8_5.swf" .................................... enableJavaScript="false" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" allowScriptAccess="never" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/in dex.cgi?P1_P rod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width=300 height=300

My Interests




I am an avid reader. I also enjoy music theory and try to play my violin as often as I can. When I get free time, I dabble a bit in graphic design and love to play EverQuest & Magic: The Gathering. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I'd like to meet:

God, Kevin Smith, Mussorgsky, Hugh Laurie, Oprah, and several of the friends I've met online in the last few years.

In Loving Memory
Debra Dawn Simmons
February 15, 1954 - August 24, 2005 If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord,
Please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.

Tell her, I love her and I miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.

Remembering her is easy,
For I do it every day,
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

I miss you mom.
Margaret Flores Hopper
March 20, 1976 - November 8, 2007 Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid, you see.
I took His hand when I heard His call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
O yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full,
I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee.
God wanted me now,
He set me free.

I miss you Marty, you were my best friend.
Robert Joseph Simmons
June 30, 1941 - November 26, 2007 Looking online for a poem
To sum up our relationship,
I can only find those that mark a great father-daughter bond.
We didn’t have that, you pushed me away,
I wanted your love but you only showed me hate.
Someday I will forgive, but not now all I can do is mourn the loss.
Never to reconcile and never to say I love you.
Now I am alone.

I will miss you dad.

-- Counselor Troi, Star Trek: First ContactOnly a few years before his death Mozart was visited by a young composer who wanted to know how to write a symphony.
"You're very young," the great man told him. "Shouldn't you start by
composing ballads?"
"But you were composing symphonies when you were only ten."
"I know," said Mozart, "but I didn't have to ask how."
